Pioneer RT-1011L reel-to-reel deck

Pioneer RT-1011L

Pioneer's engineering policy assures reliable operation and quality performance from the new RT-1011L 4-track stereo tape deck.

A thick 5 mm front suspension panel and solid,  die-cast framework provide extra strength margin for the 10-1/2 inch reel load and stable tape transport system.

Wow and flutter is reduced by the precision 4/8-pole hysteresis synchronous capstan drive motor, coupled with a "tuned" 100 mm flywheel and high-precision 0,2 µ-error capstan.

A high-torque 6-pole induction motor ensures optimum tape tension. The 2-channel 4-track recording and playback heads are hyperbolic for superb tonal quality, ideal head-to-tape contact, and exhibit excellent

electromagnetic characteristics. All three heads are arranged in a short tape path to enhance stability. And Pioneer's long experience in tape deck design means top versatility. the RT-1011L includes

switched circuits for 2-step bias and 2-step equalization for balanced recordings with any tape. Advanced design and electronics also means wide dynamic range from the mic/line mixing, solenoid-operated

direct-changeable function  buttons, auto record facility for use with pre-set timer. large level meters, lockable pause, and more.
